Being a Big Brother and Big Sister is one of the most rewarding things you can do for a child and for yourself! I have been the child who had a Big Sister and I have been a Big Sister for a few children and I know that it truly makes a difference for all that are involved! I have great respect for the people who work in this organization and all that they do for the children and the adults. Please know that you don't need to be a super hero just someone to spend time with a child and make their world a brighter place with your care and attention. I am passionate about BBBS because I know it truly works! Remember this generation of children is our future and this is your chance to ensure that our youngsters are on the right path. I hope that you will consider being a BBBS, below are listed some specific reasons to be a BBBS! Happy Valetines Day
